Marciana Marina beach on the Island of Elba

The Marciana Marina Beach (or simply La Marina) is located along the town's waterfront. Always quite cool due to its northern exposure, it is never overly crowded.

The beach is very convenient for those staying in town who prefer not to drive. It is approximately 350 meters long in total, wider in the eastern section, and narrows beyond the pier, which is often used by children for diving into the sea.

Ferries regularly dock at the pier for excursions to the Elviscot wreck (Pomonte), Capraia Island, San Vincenzo, and Corsica.

The eastern part of the beach consists mainly of small dark pebbles and sand, while the western section, beyond the pier—especially the final stretch known as Capitanino Beach—is primarily sandy.

Marciana Marina Beach is well-suited for families with children and offers facilities such as sunbed and umbrella rentals, as well as canoes and pedal boats.

The beach also has an area equipped for people with disabilities, featuring a wooden platform with sunbeds and umbrellas and a walkway leading to the sea. There is also a cabana and a job chair available.

Behind the beach, the public gardens provide a shaded retreat during the hottest hours of the day.

Being located along the town's waterfront, which is lined with shops, banks, supermarkets, and many other amenities, the beach is both convenient and accessible.

Not to be missed is the stunning and nearby Cotone Cliff, visible on the right side of the beach. The cliff is part of the charming and historic neighborhood known as Borgo del Cotone and is an ideal spot for sunbathing. The smooth and relatively flat rocks allow visitors to lie down in complete relaxation while enjoying excellent sun exposure.

Fun fact: The beach of Marciana Marina has been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag, an international recognition granted by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). This symbol of quality rewards the excellence of bathing waters, the services provided, and the commitment to the protection and enhancement of the coastal environment.

How to reach Marciana Marina Beach

The beach is very easy to find as it is located right on the waterfront, where several hourly paid parking spaces are available. Behind the town, there are free parking areas within a few minutes' walk. Coming from Procchio, at the town entrance, you will find a three-level parking lot (with the ground-level floor offering free parking), and across the road is the San Pietro parking lot. Another free parking area is located on Via Lloyd (market zone on Tuesdays).
